 * Hi,
 * I ran into an issue that I have had with other plugins and wanted to post the
   solution here. I am running CentOS 5 and PHP 5.4 on Nginx and FastCGI. When I
   try to save the plugin settings I get the following error:
 * > Better Font Awesome
   >  Remote CSS Error The attempt to fetch the remote Font 
   > Awesome stylesheet failed with the following error: http_request_failed: SSL:
   > certificate subject name ‘*.kxcdn.com’ does not match target host name ‘cdn.
   > jsdelivr.net’ (URL: //cdn.jsdelivr.net/fontawesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.
   > css) The embedded fallback Font Awesome will be used instead (version: 4.2.0).
   > Don’t worry! Better Font Awesome will still render using the included fallback
   > version: 4.2.0 Solution This may be the result of a temporary server or connectivity
   > issue which will resolve shortly. However if the problem persists please file
   > a support ticket on the plugin forum, citing the errors listed above.
 * This was causing an issue for me as I wanted to use an icon only available in
   v4.3, so I added the following to my `functions.php` to disable the SSL cert 
   verification:
 *     ```
       function fix_ssl_plugin_updates( $r, $url ){
       	if ( 0 === strpos( $url, 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net' ) ){
       		$r['sslverify'] = false;
       	}
       	return $r;
       }
       add_filter( 'http_request_args', 'fix_ssl_plugin_updates', 10, 2 );
       ```

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks for the heads up. This is fixed in version 1.0.10, which I just released.
   PS – in the future you can use the included `bfa_wp_remote_get_args` filter for
   this sort of thing.
